And I honestly wondered how a thread about boobs could go wrong.Maybe the paizo editors can have a best manboob contest!I think the real problem with ^this^ is whether to call them Bros or Manziers.
Man-boobs are called "Moobs".
I propose that we pass legislation that requires women to go topless so we can further investigate this phenomenon.
Careful what you ask for... with this nation's out of control obesity problem, you might not really want to see most of what's out there. :)
He don't know me too well...do he?

I had a buddy in college (a Marine with extreme ADD), who went on this 20 minute lecture to us on just this topic. Honestly, it was the longest I'd ever heard him stay "on topic" in all the time I'd known him.
I was reading the first clause in that sentence, and I was like, "He had huge breasts?"
Yeah, I bet manboobs are getting larger too. ;)
What is this extreme AD&D? Sounds like a version I've never played. What does it have to do with breasts?

Well, it's obvious you haven't played a proper game of Extreme AD&D then.

It's like AD&D but with loud music and lotsa naked babes.
More Krunch! No Fluff! It's Kewl, it's Hawt, it'll make you Manlier! eXXtreme AD&D, now with more 4e!!!! RoX! Now with 45% more McG!!! ugh, must stop, feeling queasy now
Two things:
As a former Victoria's Secret sales person, I can attest to the fact that most women do not buy the correct bra size.
@The Jade: That was Puerto Rico, not South America.
Thanks for the clarification, Derek. I saw it on Oprah afterschool back in... well waaaay back when.
There was a chemical plant down in South America spilling mutagens into the surrounding environment and kids were getting swelled breasts and pubic hair at age four and five. What a horror.I believe there were also ninja turtles involved...
They. Showed. Pictures. It was so terrible... I wouldn't have been all that surprised if one of them had sprouted a turtle shell.
Now those are some BAD CHEMICALS.
I thought Austin had a "you can go topless" rule.
No; they had an unspoken agreement that you probably wouldn't get hassled for it, even though it was still technically illegal. Last I heard that agreement is starting to erode... economy down, police need revenue... not even Barton Springs are safe anymore.
Yeah, I bet manboobs are getting larger too. ;)Sadly, my younger brother is living proof of this.
So, am I. I've been told I am a C but I don't want to find out. If I lose weight will they go away or shrink a large percentage. and I blame fast food and myself.
Fast food for putting the hormones in, and me not stopping the eating of fast foods.

Ironic that I would be using the book to update the Sacred Prostitute in our game when I clicked on the link.
Something that wasn't mentioned is that more and younger girls are ending up with developing chests. When I was in 7th grade there was only a couple of girls developing. Now it seems like there are more 10 year olds with developing chests than there were 13-14 year olds back in my day (I'm 38 BTW). It really isn't the obesity, it's the fact that hormones are in most meats that the US calls safe, among other things. Steroids also seem to be part of the issue.
There is, of course, another explanation. We know for a fact that sexual development is often delayed in humans because of disease and malnutrition. Given modern medical advances and the fact that people have more food in greater diversity than ever before, it seems likely that young girls are developing breasts at younger ages because they are healthier than previous generations.
I'm not saying that your explanation is wrong. To tell you the truth, I don't know enough about the subject to really say for certain. However, just doing a quick google search seems to suggest that there is at least some dispute about why girls are developing sexually at younger ages. In the meantime, I found at least one article arguing that hormones in meats and eggs curtail breast development, rather than enhance it. So until I see some better evidence to suggest that the hormones in our foods are causing young women to develop earlier, I think I'm going to remain a little skeptical about this one.
I'd agree more with the latter. Despite rising obesity rates, we are becoming a healthier society in that we eat an astonishing(when one looks at history) number of times a day, and have a very diverse diet. Also, the "corn fed" trope used to describe large and strong people from the 1950s to the late 1980s backs up this idea. Not to say that hormones don't play a role, just that they need to be studied further before drawing the red circle around them.
Either way, this is excellent news for me. :-D

Very, very true regarding the first. Few women know how to measure themselves(or others) correctly.

Agreed on the bra sizing issue. My current lady-friend is a (certified!) bra fitter at Macy's, and I'm pretty sure just the stories from this weekend could fill a small book. And I've been present when a few of my ex-girlfriends picked out an incorrectly-sized bra (at least one as a joke, and a few in trial-and-error).
As for the topic at hand, the available data is pretty slim. I don't even know what this recent survey/study thing looks like, or who did it, or if they also make Julienne fries. Without knowing what the study was testing or actually found (not what the papers printed; it's amazing what an AP newsfeed can do to a scientific study), I'm hesitant to even make an argument either way, to say nothing of pointing a finger at food, chemicals, aliens, or the Swedes. I will point a finger at chiropractors, though. They're responsible for everything.
